Multi-disciplinary engineering design firm for infrastructure and built environment
Osborn is a 132-year-old, employee-owned engineering firm with 300+ professionals spanning civil, structural, mechanical, electrical, and transportation disciplines. The tech stack reflects traditional AEC (architecture, engineering, construction) tooling—Revit, AutoCAD, Civil 3D, BIM, GIS—with no cloud or AI adoptions in flight, suggesting a stable, project-centric delivery model. Hiring is heavily skewed toward senior engineering roles (108 of 173 open positions), indicating capacity gaps in execution rather than strategic pivots.
